Luna was lying like a star on the lawn, looking at the sky, with books and notebooks scattered around her, the girl was bored as she couldn't find anything to do, that morning she didn't go to school due to some things that her grandfather had to do and couldn't accompanying her, it was better that way, she didn't really want to get up early either. She found herself there, in the forest, near the lake, she always felt a strange force coming from it, an energy that attracted her, she couldn't stay away from that place.

The day before, her grandfather had been behaving strangely since he had returned home, in the afternoon he kept asking question after question, she had remained vague the whole time, she didn't want to discuss and now she finds herself there assimilating what was happening to her. happened in the last few days.

She got up from her seat looking around, she doesn't see anyone like most of the time, it's an unorthodox idea, it came to her mind, starting to undress with the intention of taking a swim in the lake to clear her mind, it wasn't the first time he did it, it helped him a lot, it would soon freeze with the arrival of winter and it was better to take advantage of it. He dipped the first foot then the second and so on. 

She felt a feeling of well-being growing in her, the water that surrounded her was cool and she was carried away, she had to ask someone about her transformation and why it hadn't happened yet, she thought, it was the first of the many problems that afflicted her . Finding the courage to look her grandfather in the face and ask what kind of pack he had, she hadn't asked herself many questions in the past, she had simply been content with knowing that he was a wolf, that his pack had been the victim of a massacre and that she was the only survivor. Those questions started from Alexsander and his goal, he was looking for his pack and he didn't know why. For years he had always hoped that his memory would gradually return, and that he would be able to remember something more about his past, but this was not the case.

His mind wandered to his predestined companion, Alexsander perhaps had to loosen his grip on the boy, after all they were predestined, so sooner or later it had to happen. But she wasn't sure if she really wanted it or it was the bond the Goddess had built for them that drove her. The sensations the boy gave her were fantastic, intoxicating, she was attracted to him worse than magnets and she didn't want it to be the result of magic. There was another point that didn't suit her, more than anything else she was curious, the reason why she couldn't cross the borders to go to Alexsander, or to Sasha to visit them, while he was completely free to enter his territory. Would she meet him sooner or later, or was he hiding something else from her? A clandestine relationship? Maybe with that Tiana he'd heard about?

Suddenly she came out of the water, caught up in her paranoia and gripped by jealousy, she quickly got dressed, soaking her clothes, and went home, only to change, passing through the window so that her grandfather wouldn't see her. She hastily put on something dry, took a towel and rubbed it on her head to remove most of the moisture from her hair. She slipped out of the house, heading for the borders again, running into the trees, she had to know, she had to try to know what would happen if she crossed the border, curiosity would kill her, she couldn't wait until Saturday to see this place. No he had to have his way, he arrived and admired the roses for a second, looked around and without hesitation overtook the fence, with a perfect landing.

He walked in the new territory making the leaves crunch under his feet, there was a strange silence, almost sinister, yes he felt like a fish out of water, he didn't have the faintest idea where he was going, he was almost regretting his decision, but now it was there and she trusted her instincts, again, she went straight on her way smelling Alexander, she was sure that he had passed there a few hours earlier, probably on patrol.

What interrupted his thoughts was a sound, he didn't know how to define it at that moment, it was certainly not an animal. She pricked her ears at attention, preparing for any possible attack, she felt something was swirling around her. Then a squirrel came out from a corner, Luna looked at it strangely, the noise she had heard couldn't have come from the little creature - What? - she didn't finish speaking when a monstrous creature came out from behind her, narrowly missing her, she climbed a tree to get a better look at her. A huge magical lizard-like creature, it was an elebratis, he had seen a depiction of it in an encyclopedia and guide book on magical creatures. And that was one of the few that could be done very well in the laboratory. The monster looked at her, ready to follow her even up the trees, he had an innate bloodlust, you could see it from his behavior. Luna came down from the tree ready to face him hand to hand, it was useless to use the trees since the creature could also use them. She thrust out her claws, ready to attack, all it took was a clean hit under the monster's throat to kill it. The magical creature studied her and vice versa, Luna started seeing the monster jump on her, she felt the adrenaline rising through her body, her eyes changed and began to release her true aura. It was an instant before he found himself under it, with a slide, sinking his claws into the monster's cutis, tearing it open and knocking it down. The girl stood up, resting her hands on her knees looking at the mess she had created a few steps away from her. Her claws retreated and her aura calmed down and became stable, she had slightly lost control of her energies. She was safe for the moment, but changed her mind immediately afterwards. A howl came from the east, two wolves were headed in the same direction as her, they had heard her, she started running in the opposite direction  She had to find a way to go back, if Alexsander learned of her presence in that place, she could consider herself a dead woman. The two wolves on guard were at her heels, she turned around not seeing them, naively slowed down her pace, it wasn't like her, and in fact she didn't have time to stop before one of the two wolves came out from her left, trying to hit her. He dodged it, after him the second wolf also surprisingly came out from the opposite side, he also avoided this last one and started running again. He climbed a nearby tree, then the next one, and the one after that now. She glanced below her, she was still being chased by the two wolves, she regretted her impulsive decision, she didn't expect everything that was happening to her, she had crossed the territory about an hour ago and had already been attacked twice. 

At that moment Alexsander was in his father's study, discussing the attacks they were receiving and the apparent disappearance of the moon pack, he had had to compromise with his father as he had not brought any help. For Alexsander it was better not to warn the other counties, there would have been a fight to take their territories if they were right, but all they had formulated were just suppositions - The attacks of those "overgrown lizards" are increasing and we are not managed to contact the blessed pack!? This is unacceptable! Where could they have ended up? Disappeared into thin air!? - yes, his father complained, once again - You should calm down, wouldn't a chamomile tea hurt you? - it was the umpteenth time he had told her this, in the space of half an hour - How the fuck can I calm down?! - he shouted, walking backwards and forwards around the room like a caged wolf - We'll find another way, right? - - And let's hear it, what do you propose? - he didn't like the father's irony, he sat down better in the seat - Is it if we asked the protectors? If I'm not mistaken you have some knowledge.. - Aron reflects for a moment remembering his friend, who came to visit him the day before - There is one - he murmured looking at the wall, his son sighed with relief he had finally convinced him, they wouldn't have touched on the topic of the blessed wolves - Can I ask...- he didn't finish the sentence before the two sensed a foreign presence in their territory, a too strong aura, something the young man had never felt. He looked at his father, noticing the expression on his face - Do you think...? - he left the sentence hanging while Aron gave him a nod of approval - Daniel and Grace are definitely going to get the intruder or rather our wolf - he finished the sentence hearing the howling of the sentries - You see there is no need for protectors, the blessed have come to us - the alpha said proudly, with a strange light in his eyes. Alexsander ignored him, trying to focus on the pack's auras, searching for the exact location of the newcomer. Suddenly the energy disappeared, leaving him surprised. He ran out of the pack house, transforming, the dark coat covered him, and his paws almost flew on the ground as he served the sentries, he passed the training fields and as he got closer to his goal he realized who they were hunting . Luna had disobeyed her, Luna had not listened to her order, an order from Alpha. The closer he got, the more vivid the girl's scent became in his nostrils. It was a drug for him, but at that moment it was giving him the opposite effect than usual. He was angry, disappointed, he couldn't think of anything else, he didn't know how he would react once he had her in front of him. He was doing everything to protect her and slow down her destiny as the future moon of the pack and she always put a spoke in his wheels.
